I’m a child of the 80’s, raised by first generation immigrant parents, and have seen the very ugly (yep I used that word!) faces of racism and xenophobia first hand. It continues to thrive in our culture through the white saviour narrative which forms the backbone of the majority of Hollywood films. I could walk into any newsagent today and see racist rhetoric on the pages of almost all our newspapers, or visit a school and see textbooks that continue to whitewash our history.
